I culty Member Is Contributor To New Volume Study Scholarly Treatise isists With Editing of Classical Texts At Illinois ister Mary Donald, B.V.M., chair- p of the classics department, is a tributor to and an editor of a volume dished under the auspices of the iduate School of the University of Bnois and entitled Studies in the brr Tradition of St. Jekome's Vitae hum. The Studies, published as part of the fcmemoration of the university's fctnty-fifth anniversaryv consist of five Coral dissertations written in the de- Htatent of classics at Illinois, under It direction of Professor William A. Rather, chairman, together with ad- Bsona matter contributed by other Merits and assistants in the depart- Ht The dissertations, which deal with It Latin and Greek manuscrips con- liing St. Jerome's Lives of Paul of ties, Hilarion, and Malchus, list the fcence contained in these manuscripts r the original tex.t of the Lives, itch, in many cases, has become cor- ted through the repeated errors of lyists. Begun in 1923 The work was begun by Dr. Oldfather 1923, and continued by the Reverend fa F. Cherf, O.S.B., of St. Procopius lllege, who contributes the disserta- n on the Life of St. Paul of Thebes. Sister Mary Donald's dissertation is the Latin manuscripts of the Life of . Hilarion, who is considered the under of monasticism in Palestine. According to St. Jerome, Hilarion is bom in Tabatha, near Gaza, in destine, in the third century. While a youth, he became a disciple of k great St. Anthony, the Egyptian llitary, and on his return to Palestine became the first hermit in that dis- ict. Hilarion's life was marked by strik- ig miracles, as well as by great aus- Bity. He died at the age of 80. Evidence of the magnitude of the ik undertaken byi the authors and ftors is apparent, since, for the Latin ires alone, 124 manuscripts were col- fttcd, and there exist several Greek and Iriental versions of each Life, all of bich had to be investigated in order shed light on the original Latin text. Form Critical Edition The Studies are preliminary to the nnation of a critical edition of St. Jer- ne's Vitae Patrum, which will be in- Ued in the Vienna Corpus Scriptor- k Ecclesiasticorum Latinorum, a se- b of critical texts of prominent Latin idesiastical writers. The Corpus already contains the let- krs of St. Jerome, and these Lives will the next of his writings to be included. The volume of the Studies is a large letavo of 566 pages, with end papers mtaining photographs of the Vita blchi, a beautiful eighth-century anuscript from Wurzburg. Relationships between the manu- ktripts are indicated by genealogical toimata, and detailed lists of manu- tripts arc included in the appendix. debater Wins Prize In Regional Finals Mary Ann Anderson, sophomore de bater, won a 50 prize in the regional bals of the John Paul Jones oratorical tontest, on March 29.

Study Receives Tribute At North Central Meeting Secure Symphonies For Music Library Modem compositions of Caesar Frank and Sibelius, and The New World Sym phony, bv Dvorak, arc among the new symphonies added recently to the music library. Also in the collection are symphonies by Brahms and Schuman, the Oratorios of Haydn, Handel, and Mendelssohn, and The Good Friday Spell, from the opera Parsifal, by Wagner. The report of the committee on the study of teacher training in the liberal arts college is not only interesting; it is exciting, since it shows the colleges wccessfully using a functional program, under which professional training for teachers is integrated satisfactorily with the sound general liberal arts curricu lum. The above statement was made by President H. W. Gage, of Lindenwood college, at the meeting of the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, held at the Palmer House, on March 22. Paying high tribute to the 28 member colleges, of which Mundelein is one, co-operating in the study, President Gage, chairman of the study, insists that it is doing a vitally significant and forward-looking service to liberal arts education in the United States. When Mundelein was invited to co operate in the study, in 1941, Sister Mary Benedict, B.V.M., chairman of the education department, was appointed faculty coordinator for the project. Since its organization, the committee has held three summer workshops at the University of Minnesota, all of which have had Mundelein representa tion, and it has sponsored 16 inter-col legiate conferences, two of which were in the Chicago area.
